Ginger Snaps by little_ozzo (PG-13)

[sinfulslasher]

Okay, before I run out of gas, I'd better drive back and hand over the keys to the NCIS crack_van. I did thoroughly enjoy taking another ride with you all, and I hope you found some old classics or maybe new favorites you liked.

Last but definitely not least I'm leaving you with one of my personal favorite stories, which I hope you'll enjoy just as much as I do whenever I re-read it! :)

Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: according to the author, it's Gibbs/Tony, though I'd categorize it as gen with heavy UST
Length: about 16,750 words
Author on LJ: little_ozzo
Author website/archives: unknown
Why this must be read: This story features a several of my favorite things: It focuses on the Gibbs & Tony dynamic/relationship. It's a "Five Times..." fic. It's a "what if" scenario explaining the Gibbs/Tony (or Gibbs & Tony, as it were) background in pretty inventive yet still very plausible ways. It features both Jackson Gibbs and Tony DiNozzo Senior. It's incredibly in character. It's charming and sweet and funny and angsty. And it proves once and for all that Gibbs and Tony were meant to be together (be it as lovers, friends, team mates, whatever)--Fate is on their side! :)

Hey, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all the gen and ust recs you made. I've really enjoyed several of them. Thanks for looking at the whole spectrum and not just slash. *g*

Thank you! :) I had a great time driving the van!

I tried my best! :) I do enjoy well written gen stories, but I seem to have a hard time finding them. :( Personally, my very favorite kind of story is team-oriented gen fic, the kind you could see happening on the show, with silly banter and headslaps and everything. But they're so rare! So I usually just go and indulge in smutty Gibbs/Tony fic instead. *g*

Really? "Ginger Snaps" is like the ultimate awesometastic gen-turning-UST-Gibbs/Tony-epic-background-story! I love it to itty bitty pieces! (Always leave the best things for last, my mom taught me, so this was my final rec. *g*)

I had a great time driving the van again, and who knows, if I have enough new recs, I may steal the keys for a third time sometime in future! :)

Yay, I'm thrilled I was able to rec stories you enjoyed! And trust me, there are a lot of great stories and very talented authors in the NCIS fandom! :)
